The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#172b

172b. Lord, I hear of of show'rs of blessings

1 Lord, I hear of show'rs of blessings,
Thou art scattering full and free;
Show'rs the thirsty land refreshing;
Let some portion fall on me;
Even me, Even me,
Let some portion fall on me.

2 Pass me not, O God, my Father,
Sinful though my heart may be;
Thou might'st leave me, but the rather
Let thy mercy fall on me;
Even me, Even me,
Let thy mercy fall on me.

3 Pass me not, O gracious Saviour!
Let me live and cling to thee:
Fain I'm longing for thy favor;
Whilst thou'rt calling, call for me--
Even me, Even me,
Whilst thou'rt calling, call for me.

4 Pass me not, O mighty Spirit,
Thou canst make the blind to see;
Witnesses of Jesus' merit,
Speak the word of power to me--
Even me, Even me,
Speak the word of power to me.

5 Pass me not, thy lost one bringing;
Bind my heart, O Lord, to thee;
Whilst the streams of life are springing,
Blessing others, oh, bless me,--
Even me, Even me,
Blessing others, oh, bless me.
